Minutes

Call To Order:

The meeting was called to order at 9:36pm by the Captain, Paul Mulka.

Attendance was taken. In attendance were:

The minutes from the previous meeting were summarized and approved.

Movie Committee:

The movie for this week is undecided, but will most likely be A Clockwork Orange. Warning: Disturbing and intense topics and presentation (sex and violence) which may bother some. It takes an in depth view of what may happen with those aspects of society. [Same director as 2001.]
Last week's movie was Krull.

Recruitment and Relations Committee:

The Chairman will be distributing an item (to be discussed in the Chief of Operations report) to the Alumni Members.

Multi-Sector Committee:

Met! Came up with a Psi Phi Federation Charter, which has been brought (in various print sizes) for sector members to view. Vote next week.

T-Shirt:

Chief of Operations:

Is now making a newsletter--The Psidebar of Psi Phi--a monthly publication. Submit to the Chief any ideas for items in the Psidebar. R&R Chairman will be sending copies to the Alumni Members.
- R&R Chairman is recognized by the Captain and allowed to make an additional entry for his report: Requests the cash equivalent of three stamps from the Grand Nagus. The Nagus told him to buy the stamps, and submit the cost for reimbursement.
Has re-begun the Rules of Netquisition contest.
60% of accesses to www.bradley.edu recently have been for Psi Phi pages. This unusual circumstance brought about by Psi Phi receiving ¹³⁰⁴⁸⁷/₁₃₀₅₁₂ accesses during a one-minute inundation of requests from UNKNOWN HOST. The cause of these requests, as the host-name signifies, is not presently known. Typical Psi Phi access ranges from 25% to 30%.
Ward asked the Chief how many more episodes would be in each series' season, and how many seasons each series would run. Nine more DS9 episodes this season, seven to eleven more Voyager episodes. Each series will likely last seven seasons, though it depends yearly on the ratings they receive. DS9 is not doing as well as it did when it started--but that is partially due to the expanding syndicated market. Voyager isn't doing as well as its older sibling, but will likely continue as UPN's flagship through thick and thin.

Grand Nagus:

Don paid, so the balance is $86.77. <"Ooooh!">
In conjunction with the Communications Officer, the following decision has been made: To remain in good financial standing, dues must be paid before Spring Break.

Communications Officer:

Any people not in good financial standing will have their status for the semester retconned to Guest/Prospective Member.
David Rowe's status is still under research: the financial records have not yet been found. They will be searched for over Spring Break.

First Officer:

He and/or the Grand Nagus need to meet with our SABRC advisor by Friday. He will try to price VCRs tomorrow.

Captain:

Cyberdesic: Jim Brazell should have talked to the right person by now, and David will be contacting Jim later this week.

Seth:
- The Greatest American Hero is now on fX weekdays at 6:00am.
- Passed around a newspaper photo of a woman who wears her Star Fleet uniform to most formal occasions, including when she's being considered as a prospective juror.
- Robert Hastings' UFO presentation: 300 people there! Four Psi Phi members attended: Seth, Monica, David, and Previous Member Bob Schmanski.
  - On a related note, Peter pointed out that the Annals of Improbable Research has published a list of this year's scheduled UFO sightings. See him for more info.
David: Voting for new officers: Are Alumni Members who will be back eligible for election, despite not currently being active? Arguments for and against presented: Yes, they are Members in good standing, by right of Alumni Membership; however, many Active Members do not know them, and feel that they should be required to be around again before they could run. Tabled until later.
Don announced that the New Muppet Show, which will begin this Friday, will have a "next generation" of the original "Pigs in Space": "Pigs in Space: Deep Dish Nine".

The meeting was adjourned at 10:24pm.
